The Coldest Touch

The Coldest Touch

Isabel Sterling

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

Elise Beaumont is cursed. With every touch, she experiences exactly how her loved ones will die. And after her brother’s death—a death she predicted but was unable to prevent—Elise is desperate to get rid of her terrible gift, no matter the cost. Claire Montgomery also has a unique relationship with death, mostly because she’s already dead. Technically, anyway. Claire is a vampire, and she’s been assigned by the Veil to help Elise master her rare Death Oracle powers. At first, Elise is reluctant to work with a vampire, but when she predicts a teacher’s imminent murder, she’s determined to stop the violent death, even if it means sacrificing her own future to secure Claire’s help. The trouble is, Claire and Elise aren’t the only paranormals in town—a killer is stalking the streets, and Claire can’t seem to shake the pull she feels toward Elise, a romance that could upend the Veil’s mission. But as Elise and Claire grow closer, Elise begins to wonder—can she really trust someone tasked with securing her loyalty? Someone who could so easily kill her? Someone who might hold the key to unraveling her brother’s mysterious death?

    This was not as witchy or supernatural or vampire-y as I had hoped for having read Sterling's other books but I still really enjoyed it!

    This is more of a YA romance with a sprinkling of paranormal activity and centuries old grudges. I mean, the paranormal stuff is the main plot but it doesn't feel like the main focus, if that makes sense.

    Overall, a good book. I had a good time reading and found it hard to put down.
